French voters demand Frexit EU referendum

With Britons set to go to the polls in June, there are increasing signs the UK’s referendum is paving the way for other European countries to question their own relationship with Brussels.

It comes after calls for Germany to have their own EU referendum in the aftermath of the migrant crisis.

In a fresh blow to the EU, 53 per cent of the French voted in favour of holding a UK-style referendum on the country’s membership.

Such a response from one of the EU’s founder members will undoubtedly ruffle feathers in Brussels.

Front National (FN) leader Marine Le Pen welcomed the poll results in a recent blog post, saying French demands for a referendum were “extremely encouraging”.

A quarter (25 per cent) of French people also want to see an end of free movement throughout Europe after the EU’s Schengen zone was heavily criticised in the aftermath of the Paris attacks.

Alongside Germany, France is considered the central pillar of the European project.

But a struggling economy and a faltering government has fuelled a rising Eurosceptic sentiment in France, as well as an escalating migrant crisis and a surge in popularity for the far-right FN.

And with France’s neighbours across the Channel winning negotiations with Brussels, many French voters are asking why their government cannot do the same.

In a University of Edinburgh survey of 8,000 voters in Germany, France, Poland, Ireland, Spain and Sweden, France was the only country where a majority said they would back holding a UK-style EU referendum.

But France is not the first European country where voters are demanding their own chance to leave the EU, with both the Netherlands and the Czech Republic saying they want to follow Britain in holding an in-out referendum.

Continues in link. Is this the beginning of the end of the EU?

No the EU is fine, it's not going anywhere, and the West needs to stop kicking its own ass and take the drama down 10 notches.

[Cradyz]

How about we vote to change the EU political structure, not leave the incredible benificial economic aspects it brings. That's the real issue, but I suppose that's too nuanced for some people..

[TrumpIsPresident]

Keep the EU intact.

That way when they experience the consequences of their blind willingness to inundate themselves with "refugees" they can sit in their nice neat circle and blame each other while they burn.

[Archonite]

Tbh all these brexits, grexits and frexits do start to sound silly, maybe its just me. Isnt there a more official term for something like this?

On topic: I would consider this more of a knee jerk reaction, and while many people might be open to considering the idea, i dont believe many will want to go through with it once they know the pros and cons

Yes, yes, yes....Refugees are clearly the worse problem ever Europe faced. If only there was a STRONK non SJW regime that could be rabidly jingoistic and hypernationalist, that would surely make things better in Europe, isn'it ?

Otherwise said : for pillaging, burning and ruining Europe, the refugees are rank amateurs.

Acually it is the biggest threat europe got atm, but you along with other radicals on this site seem to wanna down play the slightest hint of that.

[dribbles]

Britain bringing democracy to those EU savages.........again /sigh

[Deleted]

No, that's nothing serious, it has been that way for years and years, leaving the EU is just a wild idea of both the far left and far right parties.

And mostly, people want a referendum because "muh democracy". The leading parties of France would rather strengthen the european union and tighten France's links with it.

Alarmist new 101.

A) Rewrote ''issue'' on ''threat'', to look more virile and manly.

B) Invent stuff about scary brown people (if they are a foreign religion, it's easier, but it's stil okay if they are Catholics, cauz Catholics isn't not really Christian if they are not white)

C)When you live in a country where there are weekly mass shootings, say that any vandalism/crime wave in Europe ''is the collapse of social order'' while those countries have minuscule crime rates compared to the good USA and their millions of guns holders.

D)While living in the USA, imply, Internet Tough Guy style, that Europeans are ''not real man'' and ''beta'' to not shoot in the head refugees. After all, rabid xenophobia, jingoism and chauvinism only caused, what a few dozens mllions deaths previously, let's have another round !

[Acidbaron]

FN an euro skeptic party, released a poll of their own they that benefits their cause, and this is news worthy how exactly?

This is nothing new and if this is to new you haven't been following european politics very long.

Looks like Merkel's immigrants are rapidly destroying any possibility of a future EU nation state.

[sarahtasher]

Besides, for the people that are rabidly hating eeeevil non white people, here is the gits of it.

Twice in the previous century, the whole ''white are so much kooler than the subhumans next door'' ended up with millions of lives lost. Because at that time, the mode was less hating Muslims as inferiors as hating Italians, Germans, French or Russians (whatever was convenient). The EU initial goal was openly and explicitly, to remove some liberties to European states and integrate their economies to avoid yet another millions of deaths for Alsace-Lorraine or Silesia.

Yeah, clearly, clearly, clearly Merkel is the most damaging German politician ever. Clearly.

No, it's not, you do realise that almost all of the europeans have never seen a single refugee in real life ? You could barely see the difference between pre-refugee Europe and the actual Europe.
The economical crisis that started back in 2008 is still on (To a lesser extent though), and it's much more of a serious deal than refugees here.

Also, a lot of the people that want to get out of the European Union (At least, here in France) want it because they think it promotes lobbying and goes towards a system that is akin to that of the united states, which they hate.

The situation has nothing to do with hating "inferior sub-human Muslims" as you seem to imagine it. The problem is more to do with the rapid influx of large numbers of unemployable and culturally incompatible people into western Europe.

Ok quell your triggering.

Didn't say the "refugees" were the worst problem but they are currently the most dangerous and destructive one and Europe will suffer for it.

Hey just for fun, you should try dropping the "ah ma gaaa racists everrwharrr!" defense and see what you have left to stand on at that point.

Because we all know there is nothing else, but I don't think you've figured that out yet.

They said that about Italians and Poles in France in 1930s.

The Germans said that too about everyone in Eastern Europe too.

Nope. French far right politicians said exactly the same thing toward Italian or German refugees in 1930.

Integration and immigration are serious problems in Europe. Debt and unemployment, issues that have very little to do with minorities, are much more serious problems.

[Nobar]

Good. A healthy dosage of nationalism will give some much needed course correction both to the rich EU nations and the poor ones.

Immigration actually has a lot to do with debt and unemployment.

Yeah. I mean, how ''cuck'' and ''beta'' and ''SJW'' you have to be to think that rabid nationalism might have caused a few problem in Europe.
